Operating Instructions
Once installed and wired correctly, the ICM495-30A-F operates automatically to provide surge protection. The disconnect function is manually operated.
Power On/Off:
- To supply power to the connected equipment, ensure the disconnect handle is in the "ON" position.
- To disconnect power for maintenance or safety, move the handle to the "OFF" position.
Surge Protection Indicator:
The unit features a green LED indicator on the top of the enclosure. This LED indicates the status of the surge protection module:
- Green LED ON: Surge protection is active and functioning correctly.
- Green LED OFF: Surge protection module has been compromised or is no longer active. The unit will still function as a disconnect, but surge protection is no longer provided. In this case, the unit should be replaced.
Maintenance
The ICM495-30A-F requires minimal maintenance. Regular inspection is recommended to ensure continued safe operation.
- Periodic Visual Inspection: Annually, inspect the enclosure for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Surge Protection Status Check: Periodically check the green LED indicator to confirm the surge protection is active. If the LED is off, the unit's surge protection component has failed and the unit should be replaced.
- Fuse Replacement: If the fuses blow, disconnect power to the unit, open the enclosure, and replace them with fuses of the same type and rating.
CAUTION: Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or inspection inside the enclosure.
